Vacation in Rovinj

One of the most beautiful cities in the region, Rovinj , is in a central position on the west coast of Istria. After climbing the towering bell tower of the most important temple of the resort, the Church of St. Euphemia, we can see how tightly its buildings are. Today, it mainly translates into the unique atmosphere of narrow streets, invariably captivating tourists for years, while in the past it was associated with the prohibition of building new buildings. Residents were only allowed to expand the existing ones, which resulted in strange situations of nesting of whole families, e.g. at 20 meters. The reason was simple - Rovinj was an island for hundreds of years, and it was not connected to the mainland until the 18th century. From the belfry you can see not only the city, but also the surrounding islands and the bay. The tower itself is over 60 meters high and well over 300 years old. Its top is crowned with a movable figurine of the patron, which - like a hen - rotates in the direction of the wind. After descending from the tower, you can wander the narrow streets, and then visit one of the many pubs with great seafood. For many tourists , holidays on the Adriatic are the perfect excuse to indulge their taste buds and learn about new dishes. It is worth noting that the first Croatian restaurant that won the Michelin Star is located in Rovinj. This is the Monte restaurant (ul. Montalbano 75), which received the prestigious award in 2017.
